Kombat Taekwondo, The new Competition
In February 2023, Kombat Taekwondo was founded by Mr. Rick W. Shin following collaborative efforts with a dedicated team. The league has experienced swift growth and global interest. The text presents ten crucial aspects to help understand Kombat Taekwondo, including what it is and who qualifies as fighters. Kombat Taekwondo is a distinct combat sport and league managed by the Kombat Taekwondo brand that emphasizes traditional techniques, kicks, and punches. Eligible fighters must be 18 or older, exhibit physical prowess, and hold a black belt in any style of Taekwondo. They also need to provide a current medical assessment verified by a certified medical practitioner.

There are two formats for fights. The "1 vs. 1" consists of a single five-minute round with only gloves, foot pads, groin protectors, and mouthguards for protection.

c) Upper cuts to the face and above the beltline are allowed but without grabbing or holding the opponent.
d) Permitted open hand strikes:
